STORY: In this world there is an island with a giant abyss in it, called "The Abyss", The Abyss is a colossal pit discovered 1,900 years ago around the islands of the southern ocean of Beoluska; a vertical hole with an opening diameter of around 1,000 meters and speculated to be over 20,000 meters deep. The Abyss possesses a unique ecosystem, wherein lie the remnants of an ancient, yet advanced, civilization. Many have challenged the mysterious Abyss, pursuing countless hidden treasures and relics of immense value. Some are treasure hunters looking for Artifacts, while others are explorers determined to unveil the secrets The Abyss hides. To explore The Abyss, valiant cave raiders called Delvers emerged, and the town of Orth was established at its edge.

The Abyss still contains many sections that have never been seen, and carries many dangers. Hazardous habitats that defy common sense and otherworldly creatures adapted to the unique environment are major obstacles to explorers.

The Abyss is full with objects called "Relics." Every relic has it's own use, it could be just for food, to use as a pillow, to use as a shield or to make you stronger by infusing yourself with it. Delvers enter the Abyss trying to find those relics and sell them to other people outside the Abyss, they being very rare and expensive.

Though The Abyss is riddled with countless dangers and hazards, one of the greatest challenges facing Delvers is, in fact, the ascent from it. This is due to a phenomenon called the The Curse of the Abyss. The term refers to a series of symptoms that manifest upon ascending while inside The Abyss, with its more scientific name being the "Strains of Ascension". The effects of the Curse manifest after ascending around 10 meters within The Abyss, with no way to avoid it through conventional means. The Curse affects all living things; however, their symptoms may differ from those appearing on humans depending on how close the creature resembles a human.

The great pit also appears to have some form of time distortion.

1st Layer: The Edge of the Abyss: Depth: 0~1,350 meters. Strains of Ascent: Light dizziness and nausea. Description: The 1st Layer is the most shallow section of The Abyss, right below the town of Orth. The environment is consistent and sunny, full of hollows in the grassy rock faces and petrified trees. The wildlife consists of fantastical and mostly harmless animals.

2nd Layer: The Forest of Temptation: Depth: 1,350~2,600 meters. Strains of Ascent: Intense nausea, headaches, and numbness of limbs. Description: The Forest of Temptation is the first truly dangerous section of The Abyss. The fauna and environment suddenly change, shifting into a forest with large vegetation. The creatures that inhabit this layer are much more dangerous. Deeper in, there is an area known as the "Inverted Forest", where the trees grow upside-down and the updraft wind blows hard, with even water flows upward. An outpost known as Seeker Camp has been established here to serve as a resting point for Delvers.

3rd Layer: The Great Fault: Depth: 2,600~7,000 meters. Strains of Ascent: In addition to aforementioned effects, vertigo combined with visual and auditory hallucinations. Description: The 3rd Layer consists of a 4,000 meter vertical cliff, making it a highly challenging area to ascend, save for the large cave network surrounding the main shaft. Countless methods have been implemented in attempt of descending, to varying effects. Aerial predators are common, including Crimson Splitjaws.

4th Layer: The Goblets of Giants: Depth: 7,000~12,000 meters. Strains of Ascent: Intense pain throughout the body and bleeding from every orifice. Description: A strange, humid jungle of strong vines and giant concave discs, which capture water from the air, earned the 4th Layer its name, "Goblets of Giants." At a depth of 9,000 meters, the famous Garden of the Flowers of Resilience can be found. A massive field of Eternal Fortunes, the trademark flower of The Abyss. A truly beautiful sight; though, the danger from the beasts that dwell here is high.

5th Layer: The Sea of Corpses: Depth: 12,000~13,000 meters. Strains of Ascent: Complete sensory deprivation, confusion and self-harming behavior. Description: The shortest layer of The Abyss, vertically, being only 1,000 meters deep, but also the widest one, horizontally. It is tens of times wider than the town of Orth. It consists mostly of a large, monster-filled sea with some crystallized sections, held up by a layer of thick slimy water. This is the last layer of The Abyss where it is possible to bear the Curse and return alive and intact. An ancient ritual site turned outpost by Bondrewd and his followers, Umbra Hands, Ido Front acts as a gateway into the 6th Layer, the point of no return.

6th Layer: The Capital of the Unreturned: Depth: 13,000~15,500 meters. Strains of Ascent: Loss of humanity or death, or under specific conditions, the Blessing. Description: A White Whistle's Last Dive. A human who tries to ascend from the 6th Layer either succumbs to death, or is deformed beyond recognition, hence the name, "The Capital of the Unreturned." In Orth, there is a rumor about a Golden City at the bottom of The Abyss, which supposedly originated from the 6th Layer, where the ruins of a majestic city sleep undisturbed. The buildings spread in every direction and are covered in crystal. It is not uncommon to come across creatures of an irrational danger level here and there even occur geo-thermal explosions that emit poisonous gas and iron rain. Avian species in this layer are unaffected by the bird repellent used on the Mail Balloons that delvers send back up to the surface. In a secluded area of the 6th Layer, an entire village inhabited by Narehate called Iruburu was formed.

7th Layer: The Final Maelstrom: Depth: 15,500~????? meters. Strains of Ascent: Certain death. Description: The final known layer of The Abyss. Not much is known about it, but there are many rumors about it transmitted from the Last Dives of generations of White Whistle Delvers, which are only passed down via word of mouth to none but themselves. These include the claim that there exists in it something shaped like a ring, Ring of the Essence, which only a few White Whistle Delvers have seen, as well as the rumor that along the path to the bottom of The Abyss live mysterious beings called "Gatekeepers".

Rocambole was a kid born in Orth, he went to an expedition to The Abyss when he was around 3 years old with his parents, but they got lost and were attacked, with Rocambole being the only survivor, so he was raised inside The Abyss, by animals and his only presention, making through everything and reaching the pits of the Abyss.

HOW ROCAMBOLE TURNED INTO A NAREHATE AND GOT HIS APPARENCE:

Rocambole, while he was eating and surviving another day inside the Abyss in the 4th layer when he was 9 years old, where he was surviving at the moment, a group of scientists kidnapped him and brought him to the 5th layer, using him as a test subject to make scientific tests on him, bringing Rocambole to his limit and almost killing him. When Rocambole couldn't handle anymore of the tests, he was discarded with other useless relics inside a pit that reached the 6th layer, where things will be burned. Rocambole, now in the edge of life and death, he heard a voice coming from one of the relics, a small stone which looks like a diamond, the relic asked if he wanted to live, and Rocambole said "yes", after that, everything turned white and now Rocambole was healed and completely fine, only the rock now inside his belly. He started to climb this pit and he suffered the curse of the 6th layer, turning himself as a blessed narehate/hollow, losing his humanity and turning into this animal. Once on the top of the pit, he escaped and ran to the 6th layer. Later discovering that now he is immortal due to the relic, which he now calls "Life's Fortune." Recovering himself everytime he gets hurt, and reviving once he dies, but he still feel all the pain of the death even after reviving. He tried to get this out of him, but this would damage himself, and then he would recover and the relic go back to his belly, leaving him immortal. Turning into a narehate/Hollow made him stop aging, making him have a younger apperence even though he is much older than what he looks like.

Now Rocambole is wandering around the Abyss, making through the layers and getting relics for himself, her knows places where the curse doesn't reach, so he can easily climb the Abyss without getting hurt. Rocambole knows almost all of the Abyss with his memory, even being able to creat a map with only his memory. Rocambole usually lives inside the 6th and 7th layer, always avoiding the 5th because it's where the scientist which captured him lives, only going there to climb to the 4th layer and more.

CARINA:

Carina is Rocambole's white whistle, Carina was the name of the first human Rocambole found after turning into a narehate/hollow who he communicated and turned friends, both of them survived the Abyss together but one day Carina died, but her body turned into a white whistle, a type of whistle that only other 6 people in the entire world have besides Rocambole, a whistle that only comes with someone sacrificing themselves from another person, turning their sould into a white whistle. Now, Rocambole got the white whistle and protected it with his life. The white whistle has a very powerful sound, enough to burst the eardrums of those more sensitive to sounds. Rocambole can communicate with Carina, since the whistle is her soul, so he can talk to her and even dream with her when he sleeps with the whistle.
